This can be installed on Ubuntu 20.04 focal. LibSSL is already at version 1.1.1 on focal, so you can ignore those dependencies…
dpkg –ignore-depends=libssl0.9.8 -i cav-linux_x64.deb
This command got it to install for me. Good luck to all.
Thanks Dave M.!!!

It did not work for me but a simple change did>
sudo dpkg –ignore-depends=libssl0.9.8 -i cav-linux_x64.deb
The change was 2 instead of 1 –

Comodo cannot be installed on Ubuntu 20.04 either. 🙁
